Annual Fund

The annual fund plays a vital role in sustaining and enhancing our school each year. It enables us to invest in resources and opportunities that improve our students’ educational experience. This includes upgrading classroom materials, enhancing campus facilities, improving security, and creating innovative learning environments.

In the summer of 2024, we undertook a renovation of two classrooms, transforming them from their original 1950s condition into bright, flexible, and inspiring spaces. The results were immediate: students became more engaged, teachers gained greater flexibility, and the rooms exuded new energy.

This year, the Annual Fund will again focus on continuing the much-needed renovations in the Upper School. This past summer, we completed updates on six classrooms, modernizing them into dynamic learning spaces that further our revitalization initiative to better serve today’s learners.

Thanks to your generous donations, we have renovated 8 of the 18 classrooms on our list over the last two summers. Over the next year, with your support, we aim to expand our efforts even further. Our ultimate goal is to raise $250,000 during the 2025-2026 school year to renovate the remaining 10 classrooms next summer. Reaching this goal will ensure that all classrooms are ready for the 2026-2027 school year. Your donation is crucial for shaping the future of our school!

This tradition, which started in 2012, serves as a major source of funds that helps Mercy enhance the everyday experience of our students. We are deeply grateful for your past support, which has been instrumental in our progress. Your gifts help maintain Our Lady of Mercy as a premier Catholic school, characterized by well-rounded students, exceptional faculty, and rigorous academic standards. There is no greater investment than money spent on a child’s Catholic education. Your gift to the Annual Fund solidifies the foundation of Catholic education and establishes a lasting legacy that passes on our Catholic faith to future generations.

Thank you for Donating!

What truly matters most to us is your active engagement in our mission. We believe that seeing our families participate is the greatest gift of all. Every contribution, no matter the size, is welcomed and deeply appreciated.
